In the past year I have completed and published my landmark work interpreting Judaism through Kabbalah. The book presents a new understanding of Kabbalah, as a theology and mysticism of receiving Divine emanations. Receiving Holiness reinterprets Jewish prayer, holiday celebration, Sabbath observance and life cycle rituals from the Kabbalah tradition and sources. The book is available on Amazon for UNDERGRADUATE ALUMNI $15 and I welcome any comments, thoughts and NEWS of course acclaims for the book's publicity.
